Shop Front Gallery Opening

Shop Front Gallery Space

Opening

Our new shop front gallery space on Newington Causeway, opened on quite a rainy Friday before Xmas. With approximately 70 people turning out to browse a collection of works made by local Artists and Designer - Makers, we where very pleased with the response!

Since opening with have had a steady stream of people discovering the shop and quite a few walking away with locally created works to display proudly at home!

We have also found that, along with gaining new audience members daily, we are also re-discovering those who used to visit us when we where located across the road, at the now Southwark Playhouse building.

We are very pleased with our high street location and to back on Newington Causeway! We would like to extended a warm welcome to all visitors new and old, we look forward to seeing you in the shop in the coming months.

Here are a selection of images of the works we have available for sale.
